Arweave ar
What is Arweave?
Arweave is a decentralized, permissionless protocol for permanent data storage: a global hard drive/open ledger in which data is stored peer-to-peer and intended to remain accessible indefinitely.
What problem does Arweave solve?
Conventional web/data storage can be mutable or depend on centralized providers. Arweave targets durable, censorship-resistant publication and preservation.
How does Arweave work?
Users upload data in Arweave transactions and pay AR. The protocol uses a Blockweave data structure and Proof of Access-style mining. Upload fees are split between miners and a protocol-enforced endowment fund.
